Eight To One Vote
Downs Sanction Mmie
The first of tho International Cultural programs was presented Tuesday, October 3 at 7:30 p m. The presentation, Haiti, was made before a capacity crowd in the Flamingo Ballroom.
In opening his speech guest speaker Guy Beauvoir remarked that he was “proud that Haiti is the first country to kick off this new kind of program."
After expressing his pleasure at the number of persons present. Beauvoir spoke of Haiti's eolorful history: the bloody revolutions and wars for independence, of the dictators, the people, the land, and all the other elements which make the country so Interesting. Turning to more recent Hems, he mentioned Haiti's struggle for economic stability, of the need for more

The last could be achieved, he felt, through more programs such as the Cultural series which, in his opinion, will help Americans and others to obtain a better knowledge of his country.
As voodoo was mentioned on the posters advertising the program, Beauvoir explained that few outsiders really understand its true meaning “Voodoo is part of our heritage — just like America has cowboys and Indians. Nowadays, it turns out to be something quite commercial, really.”
A short film featuring places of unusual interest, mostly centered around the capital city of Port-au-Prince, was narrated by one of the several Haitian students who attends the University. Afterward, Mr. Beauvoir used color slides to point out other Interesting Haitian landmarks.
He spoke at some length of the eerie Citadel built almost a hundred years ago by the dictator Christophe. Designed as the ultimate fortress, it was built on a mountain peak at a large cost in lives, according to those familiar with its history. Almost intact, the Citadel is still * major place of interest in Haiti.
A brief question-answer period followed and those attending were allowed to question Beauvoir on numerous subjects.
Dan Vered, International Student Co-ordinator, wa* pleased with the program’s reception and termed it “very successful.” He noted that a
large number of non-students attended — people who had read of the program In area newspapers.
The next Cultural program will be devoted to Venezuela. It too will be held in the Flamingo Ballroom, on October 17.
If organizational meetings are any indication of student support, WIBS looms as a major force on tomorrow's campus Over 70 persons attended the initial meeting of the campus radio station, far above General Manager Jim Fleming’s expectations. Applications were accepted for the many positions that must be filled before UM's radio voice can go on the air.
Pete Berlin, program director, said that continued student response will greatly add to the potential of the station in terms of quality. .Stressing that, VITBS will be an imaginative medium, Berlin stated that the (JM student was going to find a new concept In broadeasting when he tuned In.
One of those presenting thts new concept will be Dan Barber. Heading up the Sport» Department he promises a new approach in the handling of sports reporting. Professor Robert Metzger will act as liaison with the Mass Communications department.
Despite the flood of applications already received, Boh Mann, the personnel dlreetor.
Week
Tiie 1967-68 marching season for "The Band of the Hour" opened last Friday night. The halftime show was dedicated to Jimmy Burns, the new-retired sports editor for The Miami Herald.
This week's extravaganza will open with ‘'McCall’s Grand Entry,” written by com|H»ser Clifton Williams. The traditional “Strike Up the Band" entrance, rearranged by graduate assistant director William Miller, will move the band from the east end-zone to an extended block formation.
After a salute to Tulane, the band will perform their precisian drill routine to the fast march strain of Henry Fillmore's "Miami March." Six soloists, Lynn Blanton, Mary Alice Goetz, Jean Mei-sel, Starr Mirando, Debbie Rodriguez, and Darlene Lundquist, will be performing to another Fillmore march, "The Circus Bee ”
“March On Miami" will bring the band to the formation for their special concert number, “Tannhäuser.“ Then, with “Blow Hurricanes," the band will spell out Miami The Alma Mater will then be played, followed by the ending number, “Hail to the Spirit of Miami U.” '
made It clear that new applications would be accepted anil processed. There will be a Job for everyone interested.
It appears that the dream of a campus-oriented and student run radio station will soon be reality. However, if this ambitious project is to survive, the support of every student on campus is needed “Creative Ideas," says Pete Berlin, “are our greatest asset.” All students are invited to share their ideas or suggestions with the station management in room S202 in the Whitten Union.
Once WIBS commences broadcasting in November, six hours of programming will l>e beamed at the 905 frequency of the FM dial. Reasonably priced FM sets will soon be available at the bookstore.
Viet Nam was again the major subject for debate in the USG Council this Monday
The debate, which was a hold over from last week's committee of the whole, was held before a gallery of approximately 75 people, a decline of one half from last week’s meeting.
The debate began when Larry Mans, editor of the Hurricane, chastized the Council and attempted to draw the debate into the two involved areas — the resolution itself and the principle which lies behind the resolution, i.e. the extent of the powers of Student Government.
Leader of this meeting'* negative speaker* wa* Mike Abram*, Junior Representative. He referred to Man* campaign in the Hurricane a* a grandstand play for effectiveness in l!S(i, with which he was in disagreement. He went on to attack Bloom, author of the resolution, and attempted to point out the dissent that Is found among the student organizations on campus. Cooperation between the Hurricane, lIS(i and the student body was called for and considered the panacea for all UM problems.
The debate raged on from this point with each faction defending' its point of view. A highlight speech was that by Jo Ann Fisherkeller, Senior Representative. Her speech centered on the problems of Viet Nam and tho US Policy towards this nation. Her speech was the most documented and in-depth one presented to the council.
